Abstract:
Ten distinct treatments and three replications were used in the experiment, which measured 3.60 m × 3.00 m in size and had plant spacing of 60.0 cm × 30.0 cm. The goal was to determine the impact of native bee attractants on improving pollination and yield of onion seeds (Allium cepa L.). The most productive method for attracting bees to onions was determined to be the 15% table sugar solution and 15% jaggery solution when applied at 1500 ml/10 lit of water. This resulted in the highest number of bees/m2/2 minutes among the various bee attractants at the Horticultural Instructional Farm, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Gujarat.
